definitely industrial-scale automation systems. Mostly PLCs, but also SCADA for monitoring. Lots of 20-30 year-old tech. Those networks have no reason to be connected to the internet.
You're talking a massive nation with more systems like this than you could ever imagine. Probably more than all of Europe combined.
They are in every state of repair and disrepair that you could imagine, and many have been receiving government funding for at least at decade now (def more, but I can only speak to the last ten years or so) to replace these systems, including SCADA and PLCs.
So you have a patchwork of countless systems, in every level of tech modernity that you can imagine.
The newer systems usually have an internal network of sorts, and they might have a portal for someone outside the network to log in to remotely monitor.
The problem seems to be that these idiots kept the default credentials, etc.
But to answer you're question, they're not all 20-30 years old, and network connectivity (without being open to the outside internet, obviously), is a very useful feature when replacing those old systems with newer ones.
The worst is when you're watching something with subtitles (in your own language because it's hard to hear sometimes), then someone on screen speaks a different language with the subtitles hardcoded into the video.
Great, right?
Well no, because Amazon's (or Netflix etc, they all do it) subtitles have a big "[Speaks German]" up the entire time, blocking the hard coded subs entirely so you cannot see what they say without temporarily disabling subs. Like bitch, I KNOW THEY ARE SPEAKING GERMAN, MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY SO I KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
It's so fucking stupid and infuriating. How have they not addressed this shit?
I think it's sunk cost. It's too late for them to admit that they were wrong because now it's too late to do anything. And admitting they were wrong this whole time would mean that there was time to do something and they squandered it to the detriment of not only their own descendants, but for literally every human on the planet.
Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.'
Is that one en your carte?
Weird menu you've got there. Err no, bad. The word isn't "weird" it's "bad".
Is the question about it being problematic? Or is the question that it warranted losing one of our best voices on the left?
Had you considered asking the woman that was sleeping? Why don't you go ahead and look up what she thought about the whole thing.
It's like y'all are addicted to losing, I swear to god. Some sort of self-flaggelation or some shit. I wish you'd leave the rest of us out of it though.
I mean you can think what you want, or even write a dissertation about it and have it published. But what I'm saying is established fact among people who dedicate their lives to this.
Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.
This last one is actually really interesting, I recommend reading the entire thing.
Welcome to being a fucking adult. It sucks.
So now we know for certain they did something very specific to reduce the price of eggs (because that's the example people were using).
So what exactly did they do?
Big gap there between 4 and 400 grams. Yikes.
Side note, it turns out that the paranoia goes away when you're in a state that doesn't give a shit
NO FUCKING SHIT

That's why.
Not only that but it said many of them were using the default login credentials

Oh nooo it's Japan, murder doesn't exist there. Just look at the stats 🙄
No he didn't you fucking liars
Imagine this happening to Biden or Obama.
This shit barely makes the news in 2026, fucking ain't right
Said every Christian about every bit of theology ever
Yeah and I listed another verse that everyone seems to love to ignore
What do you mean? He's he picture of health

Their ego will not allow it.
I wonder if Sikhs are ever warned ahead of time that they're entering a life full of catching strays
And this is why Christianity has like 47,000 different sects and counting.
But no I'm sure random Christian Lemmy user #16 is the person with the perfect understanding of his holy book.

Use man pages. Why use questionable LLM results when the manual is literally built in
